The Supremo Court of California
has decided that grand jurors can
not be compelled to reveal how they
to ted.
The steamer Carlisle li. Patterson,
built for the TJ. S. Coast Survey serv
ice oh this coast, was launched at
Williamsburg, N. T., January 15th.
She is a staunch vessel of 719 tons
displacement

Washington Tebbitoby has 131
insane persons. This is exclusive of
her candidates for office. (Attention
is directed to the above campaign
joke. This size, warranted not to
rip in the seams, three for a dollar;
caveat filed.)
One of the present popular con
tentions in Norway is for a merchant
marine flag which shall be distinct
from the "union'' flag, which now
aids in confusing Norway with Swe
den in the minds of foreigners. The
Norwegians are very sensitive to any
blunders regarding their identity,
and especially resent the idea that
their language is the same as Swedish.
The statement is made "upon high
authority," that President Arthur is
doing absolutely nothing to secure a
renomination. He is said to have
looked the situation over Very care
fully, and, while he would be very
much pleased to be renominated, he
holds that it would be very impolitic
and undignified on his part to make
any great effort in his own behalf.
The American sovereign's symbol
of power is the ballot If he sells it
for coin, he is worse than a dog. If
he is wheedled out of it, he is a weak
ling, a fit subject for an idiot asylum.
If he is frightened out -of it he is to
be pitied. If he is driven from the
ballot box by the shot-gun, his prop
erty, family, and very life, put in
peril, he is a dethroned monarch.
The perpetrators of such persecution
and outrage are traitors in arms
against a sovereign.
Fbed Douglass was once a Mary
land slave. He fled from the dark
ness of bondage into the sunlight of
freedom, and in the anti-slavery
struggle of the thirty years which
closed with the Emancipation
Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln
won a more than national reputation.
He was the friend of Daniel O'Con
nelL An English anti-slavery Dutch
ess more than a generation ago took
his arm on one of the most fashion
able streets of London sending a
thrill of horror through the ranks of
the British aristocra3y. Until a few
years ago the old Maryland statutes
were in force against him as a run
away slave. In his honored old age
he has found a white wife, and the
statutes of Maryland, in force in the
capital of the country as a part of its
common law, again rise up condemn
ing her, not him, to pay a fine of five
thousand pounds of tobacco. And.
yet this is the nineteenth century!
Mrs. Douglass should pay the tobacco
fine and let our civilized law-makers
smoke it
Regarding the Oregon and Trans
continental company, the Boston
Transcript publishes a paragraph to
the effect that as soon as it could be
conveniently done the affairs of the
company would be wound up, and the
assets distributed pro rata to the
stockholders. This has been denied,
but the denials are from persons less
likely to be informed on the subject
than the Trariscript would be. The
paragraph stated that the information
it received was from persons having
large interests in the properties, and
there is good ground for saying that
it knew what it was talking about.
At the S3me time rumors were in cir
culation here that the Oregon Navi
gation company was to be leased to
the Northern Pacific company. 1'hese
also were denied, as usnaL Never
theless, it is the natural course to
pursue under the circumstances.
The Oregon Transcontinental com
pany would seem to have died for
all useful purposes killed by Wall
street speculation. Its main ostensi
ble object was to secure to the North
ern Pacific control of the Orogon
Navigation company. If the Oregon
Transcontinental company be wound
up and formally be put ont of exist
ence, a lease of the Navigation eom-
pany to the Northern Pacific would
be a simple and easy way of holding
it
